Biodiversity and the Link Between Native Habitat and Wildlife Alan G. Appleby Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society The concept of habitat is fundamental to our understanding of the natural world we live in. And fundamental to our efforts to keep it healthy and sustainable. But what really do we know about habitat and the relationships of organisms that live in and ultimately create it In the broader context, habitat has dimensions of time, place and process that we have not yet fully incorporated into our thinking. Some of these dimensions go beyond our normal biological concept of habitat into broader geographic, social and cultural arenas not usually integrated into the equation. With the accelerating pace of change in our environment both locally and globally, we need to find ways to incorporate broader ways of thinking and acting to preserve examples of healthy functioning habitats. Protected area programs offer some hope that we can maintain specimen areas to broadly address and preserve representative habitat areas that sustain their internal ecological integrity and the links between habitat and wildlife. If we are to maintain healthy habitat for the range of biodiversity we are willing to share this earth with, we must begin to conceptualize and work within the broader picture as part of our local research, management and advocacy activities. 1
